About Leavers

Leavers is the epic end of high school celebration that all students look forward to, and one not to be missed!

Graduating high school is a massive milestone for students and should be celebrated in style. For most West Australian school leavers, the party happens at the 5-day party down-south (in Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River region) or overseas in Bali, Indonesia. Students flock to the coastal towns to enjoy a relaxing few day with school friends, acknowledging the end of an era, and toasting to 13 years of schooling.
